Fantasy Tip: It's unlikely he will play for precautionary reasons, but his high-end WR2 outlook remains unchanged. If he were to miss any real time, Andre Roberts would likely slot in as the second receiver and Santana Moss or Aldrick Robinson could land in the slot. Roberts is a WR4, with Moss and Robinson on the fringe of WR5 status.

Washington Redskins WR Andre Roberts has come to terms with being No. 3 on the depth chart. Roberts said he may have gone in a different direction during free agency if he knew WR DeSean Jackson was going to sign, but plans to make the best of the situation.

Washington Redskins WR Andre Roberts wants to serve as a return man for both punts and kickoffs. "I feel like I'm one of those players who when he gets the ball in his hands he can make some big plays," said Roberts. "That's what I want to bring to this team as well, not just as a receiver but also on special teams."

Washington Redskins WR Andre Roberts said he believed he would be the No. 2 receiver in 2014 but that was before the team added WR DeSean Jackson. Roberts said he does not know what his role will be this upcoming season. "That's how the league is, that's how the league works," Roberts said. "Going into my situation, I wanted to be the No. 2 receiver. But I still don't how it's going to work out. Obviously, when you look at how much money is being made each guy, you'd think that's going to be [the] No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3."

Updating a previous report, the Washington Redskins and WR Andre Roberts agreed to a four-year, $16 million deal Tuesday, March 11, including $8 million in guaranteed money. The first year of his salary is for $1.25 million in fully guaranteed money.

Fantasy Tip: Roberts was an asset at times in point-per-reception leagues. He gives Pierre Garcon a set of steady hands on the other side and could thrive with the abundance of attention paid to Garcon. Roberts has averaged 53 catches per season the last three years and should be a later-round pick, WR4 or WR5 in PPR leagues this season.

Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent WR Andre Roberts is not expected to be back, as the team will likely pursue a cheaper option. Roberts is certain to test the open market so he can find a bigger role than he had in Arizona. His role was dramatically reduced in head coach Bruce Arians' tight-end-heavy offense.

There does not appear to be much optimism about WR Larry Fitzgerald's (hamstring) availability for Week 6.

Fantasy Tip: Owners will have to wait for the late game inactive lists to be announced before finding out if Fitzgerald will play. If he does not play, Andre Roberts could get a mild bump in terms of his value in point-per-receptions leagues, but is only a flex option in those leagues.

Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer said head coach Bruce Arians' offensive system is the most complex and difficult offense he's had to learn in his career. He's only completed 57 percent of his passes for 1,010 yards and four touchdowns and six interceptions. The Cardinals rank 18th in the NFL in passing, 26th in rushing and 27th in overall offense. "It's the whole offense," WR Andre Roberts said. "He's (Palmer) not played well at times, receivers have not played as well at times, the offensive line, running backs. It's a team effort. Especially on offense, you've got to have all 11 guys on the same page." WR Larry Fitzgerald said there are "a lot of nuances" in the system, but if done right, "it's pretty invincible." Palmer has been sacked 10 times and will have a new left tackle, OT Bradley Sowell, protecting his blind side in Week 5 against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Tip: There may still be hope for Palmer and the rest of Arizona's offensive production, but time is running out. The offensive line must do a better job at protecting Palmer and opening lanes for the running game. the Panthers' front seven will pose a tough test again this weekend.

Fantasy Tip: With Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) questionable for the game, Roberts could see even more looks in the passing game. Even if Fitz suits up, Roberts could make for a sneaky flex play in deep leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Fitzgerald could be a game-time decision, so owners will have to monitor the inactive lists to see if he will play. If he does not play, Michael Floyd and Andre Roberts likely will have increased fantasy value for Week 2. If Fitzgerald is able to play, he should be seen as a borderline No. 1 receiver because he could be limited with the hamstring injury.

Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer said he wants to build chemistry with all of the wide receivers because he will not be able to throw to WR Larry Fitzgerald all the time. "It's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with Larry, but it's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with every one of those guys because the ball can't always go to him," Palmer said. "I know that's not what he wants to hear, but that's the truth. There will be teams that key on him and there will be games where he doesn't have as many catches as other games. It's that much more important I have that rhythm and timing down with [WR Michael Floyd] and [WR Andre Roberts] and whoever that third and fourth guy is going to be."

Arizona Cardinals RB Beanie Wells, WR Andre Roberts, LB O'Brien Schofield and P Dave Zastudil will all see increases in their 2013 salary because of incentives in their contracts. Roberts and Schofield were scheduled to make $630,000 in 2013 but will now make $1.323 million. Wells' salary has gone from $1,157,500 to $1,407,500, and Zastudil has gone from $975,000 to $1.475 million.

Fantasy Tip: Roberts has managed 65 or more receiving yards in four of his past five games, although he hasn't found the end zone in four straight games. As such, he should be treated as more of a WR3/4 or flex play heading into Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals WR Early Doucet will likely be the odd-man out with WR Michael Floyd expected to become a bigger part of the offense in the second half of the season. WR Andre Roberts will likely line up opposite WR Larry Fitzgerald in the team's two-receiver sets, but Floyd is a prototypical outside receiver in three-wide sets. "If Mike played more, he's just learning the 'Z' (position) and I would be forced to go into the slot," Roberts said. "I don't know what that would do to my reps. We have a whole bunch of formations. We'll see."

Fantasy Tip: Roberts looked to be emerging as a helpful fantasy option in recent weeks, and this one appeared to be a favorable matchup, but Roberts was nearly invisible. Treat him as more of a WR4 or 'flex' play going forward.
